Mobile Phone Spectrophotometer Protocols

During the Covid-19 pandemic I used an ‘at home kit’ to ensure my 1st year students got some hands-on practical experience. An explanation of the methods and links to all of the resources including templates and how-to videos are in this blog post:

Mobile Phone Spectrophotometer Experiments

I also published two papers as a result of the mobile phone spectrophotometer project:
